My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this weekend. Under the new ACHA because of her pre-existing condition she would not be covered. She would go to the market and her premiums would be to high to afford, because she is not 65. My dad is 65 and she could not be covered under the new ACHA.
It may not affect you, but until it does you may not care. They have been loyal republicans their entire lives. This is not the right bill to help. I may not agree with the ACA, but this would bankrupt or let my mother die.
There is something in the middle and we should not let polical views determine someone's life.
I have cried, punched walls, yelled, and prayed. Until this weekend I wasn't for sure how I felt about healthcare laws.
My parents are youth leaders at church and my grandfather was a preacher and the ACHA is not something that we should support until pre-existing is part of the bill.

It's awfully cute that y'all think Republicans and Democrats are any different. Keep licking the nuts of the corrupt two party system.

I'm sorry for what your family is going through, but this is the problem of why we get big Govt.
Look at reality, she has stage 4 cancer. Odds are even with treatment she still dies, it only buys her a little time. The taxpayer shouldn't be responsible for footing that bill. Nor should healthy people have to endure higher premiums due to a pre existing coverage requirement.
People get sick and die. It sucks but it's part of life. If you are fortunate enough to do well enough for yourself to afford to buy yourself more time then good for you. If not, it's not anyone's else's responsibility other than charitable donations from good Samaritans to pay for it.

Your parents were 65 and they had no insurance? They relied on Obamacare to get insurance after your mom was diagnosed with a horrible cancer?
This is not responsible life-planning.
eta - covering pre-existing conditions is not insurance = it is welfare.

Of course there is but that ship sailed decades ago. The Dems wouldn't sit down with the Reps at gun point & vice versa.
Sorry to hear about your Mom....prayers sent
